Yes we BROKE a cardinal rule - or just getting ourselves into
deep doo doo - LOL.... but WITH RESPECT - we did a Threadcast on a
potentially thorny topic - but happily it was heavily discussed with respect.

You, our listeners answered the following post on www.Fetlife.com ;

There are NO RIGHT ANSWERS,,, this is about you and what works for you.

We are wondering if we have any listeners who self identify as being both into BDSM as well as being Religious or Spiritual.

- Please elaborate on your kink identity (D/s, Sadist, Fetishist,
Kinkster) and how you express that - as well as elaborate on what your
religious/spiritual side looks like (practicing Catholic, Wiccan, Pagan,
Jewish, Muslim, Protestant, etc etc).
- Do you have issues between the two parts of your life?
- How do you resolve the differences between these 2 polar opposite interests?
- Any advice for resolving issues or how you maintain happiness living in both worlds?

Look for Part #2 next week - the full double episode was OVER 4 HOURS long !

June 9th, 2014

We received great feedback based on the last podcast - then gave our follow-up.

The original topic was as follows;A listener wrote us
in a question/topic about how she could encourage her Dom to dominate
her more. DA and KN dance delicately around this can of worms - but
dissect the topic and answer all of her questions - as best they can.

-Have you ever been in a similar situation?
-How do you ask for more without being disrespectful?
-Are there any subtler ways that don't require that much confidence? ^.^
-Do you have any good resources for new doms?
-Any suggestions on how to present those resources? (My particular case
involves someone who is very cocky- and rightfully so! Usually..)
-What's the best starting point for a long term vanilla-ish relationship to transition into full time d/s?
-Any other advice I've overlooked asking for..
